Yes - I agree with you 100%. having driven an E21, E30, E36, E46 and E90, it is clear that it progressively get's worse in terms if isoluation (as refinement goes up). But having come from owning a classic car myself (240Z), I appreciate a sort of inbetween.

That being said, no arguement. E30 is wonderful. Collectable and stunning to look at. Growing up though, E36 was what I wanted and so that is what I ended up with! That and my car is really a track slut and nothing more. Poor E30 if that were the case. It'd be nice to keep the remaining bone stock street examples just that! Bone stock street cars!

Agree - the sheetmetal can be re-inforced.Someone had taken images of the rear obstruction with the wing--it's actually pretty significant. Apart from the upper portion of the wing itself (as Euphoric mentioned) blocking things (this isn't as bad is the next issue), the wing blocks that raise the wing itself obstruct the 2 outer edges of the rear window, creating a minor blindspot on either side when looking in the rearview. So oui oui, it's hot. Not sure I could live with it.

I just got a wimptastic lip on my trunklid (30 bucks painted and shipped from ebay bahaha)
